The rich men who send us to war

In the US, France and Britain, extremely rich, middle-aged and elderly men, in classically-cut, expensive suits, keep telling the ‘ordinary folk’ that we must attack Syria to punish the Al Assad regime for crimes against humanity.

The Americans, in their rush to aid the so-called rebel forces in Syria, are prepared to arm the very organisations they accused of flying aircraft into the twin towers and Pentagon.

When US president, Barack Obama, Britain’s prime minister, David Cameron, Joe Biden and William Hague, et al, use the all-encompassing ‘we’, they mean the ordinary slobs who populate their nations.
